Sneakin’ and Peekin’

Director: Tom Palazzolo
Year: 1976
Synopsis: We traveled to Indiana back roads to see and shoot the annual Miss Nude Universe Contest held at a "notorious" nudist camp. They wanted $15 a head at the gate so we parked down the road and crawled through the brush. (from Canyon Cinema)

Normal Love

Normal Love

Director: Jack Smith
Year: 1963
Synopsis: Smith's second feature length film appears to derive from his adoration of Maria Montez, the B- movie star best know for her performance in Cobra Woman. It features a variety of '30s horror film monsters, a mermaid, a lecher, and various cuties. (from Flicker)

Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go!

Director: Marie Menken
Year: 1964
Synopsis: Taken from a moving vehicle, for much of the footage. The rest uses stationary frame, stop-motion. In the harbor sequence, I had to wait for the right amount of activity, to show effectively the boats darting about; some sequences took over an hour to shoot, and last perhaps a minute on the screen. (from Film-Makers' Cooperative)

Harlot

Director: Andy Warhol
Year: 1964
Synopsis: Mario Montez devours banana after banana as Carol Koshinskie stares into the distance, holding a small dog in her lap, while Tavel, Billy Name and Harry Fainlight talk off-screen about a myriad of subjects including what is going on on-screen. (from Warhol Stars)

Mock Up On Mu

Mock Up On Mu

Director: Craig Baldwin
Year: 2008
Synopsis: A radical hybrid of spy, sci-fi, Western, and even horror genres, Craig Baldwin's Mock Up On Mu cobbles together a feature-length "collage-narrative" based on (mostly) true stories of California's post-War sub-cultures of rocket pioneers, alternative religions, and Beat lifestyles. (from Other Cinema)

Baby Doll

Director: Tessa Hughes-Freeland
Year: 1982

Removed

Director: Naomi Uman
